Raleigh Raymond Hendrix (1901 - 1986)

Raleigh Raymond Hendrix was born in 1901 in Oklahoma to Rufus Hendrix and Emma Dart.  Raleigh's one of the many siblings was Grace Ardell who's daughter Elsie has married Roy Franklin Staton.



Raleigh Hendrix has served his whole life in the military.  I have found very little on Raleigh on the web about his both military and personal life.  He was a Brig. General during WWII and Maj. General before retirement in 1961.   His military records do not become publicly available until 2023.  If you have any information or photos of Raleigh you are willing to share please contact me through my e-mail.

  1. Hi i wanted to email you but didnt see where i could maybe im blind. Raleigh Hendrix is a relative of mine, i dont know much about him but im almost positive you are talking about the same person the dates seem right to me. I would love to know where you got the information and why you have an interest in him. He died when i was 3 years old and i remember looking through a drawer full of metals with my brother after he passed at his home. Also i have seen his general stars at my grandmothers house. From what i understand he did not attend westpoint academy and went through the ranks to be a general. I believe he was in charge of foreign relations with japan to some extent. If you see this post please email me at ericlathan1080@comcast.net Maybe i can ask my parents and find out more
